Together

Together, acrylic on canvas, 7x5 in. available at the Women's Museum of California, located at Barrack 16, Liberty Station, San Diego, California.

The Hungarian National Museum, in Budapest, Hungary, was founded in 1802. Among its treasures, they have Francisco de Goya's "La Aguadora", oil on canvas, painted around 1812, Velazquez "El Almuerzo", Monet's "Fishing Boats", Manet's "Lady with Fan", plus Van Gogh, Toulouse Loutrec, Kokoshka, Picasso, etc. What surprised me the most, was to learn that they have the largest collection of Goya paintings outside Madrid. This beautiful museum is in front of Hero's Square, right where the big city park starts. Highly recommended visit.

Balboa Park, San Diego, watercolor

Balboa Park, San Diego, watercolor plein-air, 4x6" (10x15 cm.) 2007-005, sold.
Be present in the landscape. You must observe, not just look. Observe and see. See the color of light. As the story goes, Monet could tell what time of the day it was, by just observing a white wall for several minutes. Concentrate on the color of light, and see how one day is different from the previous day.
